Find your edge... and step beyond it
“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring
at the water.”
-- Rabindranath Tagore
Hi everyone,
How often do you streeeeeeeetch your outer limit
comfort zone?
If you want more passion, excitement, fun and the
juices of life to take you off the same old
treadmill...
If you want to express more creativity and
spontaneity...
If you want to ignite an inner spark so you feel more
alive...
Then you need to be willing to take new steps into new
territory.
We can easily fall into habits that keep life
predictable and safe -- but boring. Elephants tethered
with a chain to a peg in the ground when young will
stay rooted to the same place even when they grow
strong enough to easily break free. Fleas will jump in
a jar to the height of the lid and when the lid is
removed they still bounce to the same height.
We don't want to be caught in the same kinds of traps.
Habits of thought and behaviour can easily be broken
with intention. Break out of the chains of mediocrity
by resolving to do so. Decide what you would most like
to experience and go after it!
Find the edge of your comfort zone. You'll know you are
there by the sense of excitement, anticipation and most
likely fear that arises when you consider doing
something new. Allow that nervous tension to be the
energy to move you forward.
We are each like a balloon. It takes a fair amount of
energy and effort to inflate it the first time. The
next time we blow it up, the balloon easily reaches its
previous size. With just a little more breath, it
expands even larger.
Discover the thrill of living on your edge and
continuously breathing into your own expansion. Create
a new approach to living by doing different things and
doing things differently.

“Embrace fully your capacity to create, to think in
unlimited ways, and to pursue everything that you have
been wanting. Be flexible, open and willing to let the
new come to you. ...This can be the most joyous,
prosperous, and creative time of your life.”
-- Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer
“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how
to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.”
-- John Steinbeck
